Father Malone (Midnight Viewing) and Mike White (The Projection Booth) join Chris to talk about Brian DePalma's The Untouchables.  Written by David Mamet and loosely based on real events, the film stars Kevin Costner as Elliot Ness, a federal agent assigned to take down the crime boss of Chicago, Al Capone (Robert DeNiro).  With an amazing cast from stem to stern, the film boasts an incredible score by Ennio Morricone.

We end Epic Movie Month with the only Martin Scorsese film to feature Daniel Day-Lewis along with one of the most misguided uses of the Irish accent, Gangs of New York. Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill and Someone's Favorite Productions Dr. Will Dodson join the episode to Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Scorsese's later works.

The film follows the story of Amsterdam Vallon, a man who's father is murdered by Bill the Butcher in 1850's New York and vows revenge upon him. It's a classic revenge tale set in a time and place rarely mined in media, making the overrated nature of the film that much more disappointing.

We continue Epic Movie Month with a look at the biggest budget film auteur Darren Aronofsky has ever directed, the biblical epic Noah. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Dark Destination's Father Malone join the episode to talk Darren Aronofsky's career, the biblical text, and Ray Winstone.

The film follows the biblical story of Noah and his family as they are tasked with building the Ark to withstand the coming flood. While the film tells the story before and after the Flood, it maybe should have stayed more antidiluvian than anything else.

We kick off Epic Movie Month with a film that is directed, co-written, produced, and starred in by one of Hollywood's top leading men, Warren Beatty: Reds. Texas Tech University Professor of Media and Communication David Perlmutter and The World is Wrong's Andras Jones join the episode to talk Warren Beatty's reputation, Jack Nicholson's role, and what makes an "epic".

The film follows the life of journalist and writer John Reed as he attempts to cover one of the most important events of the 20th century: the two Russian revolutions. Along the way, he finds love, gets directly involved in the Communist Party, and becomes much more than just a writer.
